I’ve shed many happy tears this week. Like most of the world, I was glued to the TV anxiously awaiting the results of the US presidential election and when it was announced that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had won, I was overcome with emotion. As a mum of a young daughter, Harris’ historic win filled me with hope for the future, even though I know we’ve still got a way to go. “While I may be the first woman in this office,” she said.“I will not be the last.”To read more about Biden and Harris’ trailblazing victory, turn to page 6. News of Lisa Curry’s new grandson also warmed my heart. After tragically losing her 33-year-old daughter Jaimi in September, the new addition has brought much-welcomed joy to the…

It’s been a long wait, but the highly anticipated fourth run of The Crown is finally set to hit Netflix on November 15. This season, the royal drama will resume in the final year of the ’70s as Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor), now in his 30s, is yet to find a suitable bride.

THE SMILE BRIGHTENER “Before eating or drinking, put 1 tablespoon coconut oil in mouth. Swish 10-20 seconds and spit out in paper towel and place in bin (don’t spit down sink or toilet, as it will clog drains).“ RACHAEL FINCH, MODEL THE CALM-DOWN FIX Oatmeal contains beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that creates a thin film on the skin to help retain moisture. “A really easy mask that will help brighten and take away the dullness uses yogurt as the key ingredient. Just mix equal parts of yogurt and oatmeal (about 1-2 tablespoons of each) with turmeric (about 1-2 teaspoons). Mix, apply, leave for half an hour and wash off with lukewarm water.” PRIYANKA CHOPRA, ACTRESS THE SOFTER-ALL-OVER HABIT “I dry brush my body and add a bit of whatever oil…

Given we’ve stayed home more than ever this year, it’s really no surprise that diving into a good read has been the new It activity. But did you know there’s actually a kind of therapy that’s based on reading books? It’s a mindful practice known as bibliotherapy, and at a time when many of us could do with a little extra self-care, it could be just what the doctor ordered! WHAT EXACTLY IS BIBLIOTHERAPY? “Bibliotherapy is using the healing power of literature,” explains Susan McLaine, a bibliotherapist and the host of the Bibliotherapy with State Library Victoria podcast. While you might not have heard of the practice before, bibliotherapy has been around for some time. In fact, the term was first coined more than a century ago. “We know it…

When it comes to Christmas presents they don’t get more classic than socks, so why not go for a pair that gives back? Soul Socks are the brainchild of psychiatrist Dr Katie Bourke, and 100 per cent of proceeds go directly to Movember to fund men’s mental health research. “Soul Socks is about having fun, supporting a good cause and connecting with those who may be having a tough time,”Dr Bourke says. “And gifting socks is a great way to let someone know you’re thinking about them.”Visit soulsocks.com.au…

Riesling is perhaps one of the world’s most misunderstood and under-appreciated wine varietals. Some believe rieslings are sweet due to the sugary rieslings that populated the market many years ago, tarnishing its reputation. This is certainly not the case now. Riesling originated many centuries ago in Germany, where the wine quickly gained popularity with the nobility who stored it in huge quantities. It was through this massive stockpiling that they discovered riesling actually benefits from ageing. As the wine matures so does its colour, deepening from clear and pale to a more golden hue. It’s tricky to pinpoint a single, classic style of riesling, besides its high acidity compared to other grape varieties, because it can taste so different depending on where it’s grown. But that’s also what can make…

He shot to fame as tough drug dealer James ‘Ghost’ St. Patrick in the TV drama Power. Now Omari Hardwick, 46, is in trouble of a different kind in the Hoodoo horror movie Spell. In the movie he plays lawyer Marquis, who winds up trapped in the attic of a dark magic practitioner. It’s a creepy thriller with the feel of the classic Kathy Bates horror Misery. “He is broken and running away, and that really appealed to me,” Hardwick tells WHO. You are one of the rare actors who doesn’t live in Los Angeles, aren’t you? We left [California for Colorado] five or six years ago. It was a choice. My kids [Nova and Brave] are 7 and 5, and I didn’t want them to have to grow up…

1 Luke turns 40 in style The Hemsworth family recently celebrated Luke’s birthday with a Peaky Blinders-themed 40th bash. Along with brothers’ Chris and Liam, the boys’ parents Craig and Leonie, Luke’s wife Samantha, Chris’ wife Elsa Pataky and Liam’s girlfriend Gabriella Brooks also joined in on the 1920s flapper fun. 2 Larsa: ‘Kanye’s brainwashed Kim!’ Kim Kardashian’s former bestie Larsa Pippen has spoken out about their fractured friendship, accusing Kanye West of having “brainwashed” the family against her. “I just feel like Kanye was in a place where he really didn’t trust anyone with Kim … that kinda had something to do with it,” Pippen shared. 3 Anne apologises Anne Hathaway has apologised for the portrayal of limb difference in her new film, The Witches. “As someone who really…

It’s been almost a year since Lara Worthington came home from her base in Los Angeles, but the Aussie star’s upcoming trip might not be her usual fleeting visit. The 33-year-old is set to return to native soil with husband Sam, 44, and their three children while he takes on a role in the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of Appropriate. The actor is set to star in the dark comedy at the Roslyn Packer Theatre in Sydney in March next year, with the show’s production schedule likely to see the Worthington clan in Australia for an extended period of time. “I’m excited Sam Worthington will be joining the cast of Appropriate,” shared the play’s director, Wesley Enoch. “He’s a great homegrown talent and it will be great to see him…

He’s world-famous for his iconic TV and film roles: young Republican Alex P Keaton on Family Ties, time traveller Marty McFly in Back to the Future. He’s admired as a devoted family man, married 32 years to actress Tracy Pollan and father to their four children. And he’s a powerhouse activist, the founder of the largest charity devoted to Parkinson’s disease research. But these days, Michael J Fox could rightfully say he’s first and foremost an author. He has now written four memoirs, including the soon-to-be-released No Time Like The Future, which chronicles the events surrounding the “darkest moment” of his life two years ago. Fox, 59, says Parkinson’s has now made writing his primary creative outlet. “I’m down to this. My guitar playing is no good. My sketching is…

Even by her own prolific standards, Kylie Minogue is on a creative roll right now. “It’s been a particularly productive year,” Minogue, 52, tells WHO over a Zoom call from her home in London. Not only has she recently launched her 15th studio album, Disco, which she mostly recorded in a makeshift studio at home during the UK’s first lockdown earlier this year, she’s also launched Kylie Minogue Wines – her very own signature tipple. “I mean, who doesn’t love French rosé, right?!” she laughs. It seems Minogue, who first found fame more than 30 years ago as tomboy Charlene on Neighbours before embarking on her phenomenally successful music career, is on a mission to bring the fun back into 2020. “It’s been a challenging year for everyone,” she admits.…

Many are likely to pull the same face that little Kevin McCallister does here when they discover that 2020 marks 30 years since Home Alone first hit our screens. The iconic film, and its “Ya filthy animal” catchphrase, quickly became a hit. The movie has remained at the top of Christmas films must-watch lists for decades. It also made its main star, Macaulay Culkin, a household name. But what has the actor been doing since the comedy (and its successful franchise) wrapped? WHO takes a deep dive on the cast ... MACAULAY CULKIN A powerhouse child actor, Culkin starred in everything from Uncle Buck to Richie Rich. But by the end of the ’90s, the star decided to step back from the spotlight. He was briefly married to actress Rachel…

She was a stand-out on this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, became a bestselling author thanks to her first tome Am I Doing This Right? and was recently one of WHO’s Sexiest People – which you’re probably aware of, if you’re one of the huge numbers of people following her on social media. And Tanya Hennessy isn’t done yet. The 34-year-old has penned a second novel, Help Self, getting real as she discusses food, love, friendship, career and mental health. “Doing nothing and watching TV is really where I excel,” Hennessy tells WHO. “But in order to get more out of my time, I wrote Help Self [while] watching RuPaul’s Drag Race on repeat.” Here, she shares a snippet of the hilarious results … RELATIONSHIPS (IN…

Your fake tan Elle Effect is going gangbusters. What inspired you to create it? For me, it was about creating a product that I needed. I could never find the perfect coloured self-tan, so I would mix a couple to get the right shade – but they would smell so toxic and were sticky, so I decided to make my own. The Tan by Elle Effect smells like roses, is not sticky and is the perfect golden glow. It was also the right time for me to create my own brand and make the shift from just being an “influencer”. We hear you have a new product launching. Please tell us more about it … I’m just so excited about this launch! It’s called The Tint, which is a luminising…

When it comes to choosing the text for your bibliography journey, McLaine says you should think of the outcome you want to achieve. Her podcast has a range of episodes that are tailored to different moods, whether your goal is seeking harmony, letting go of negative thoughts, or simply taking time to reflect. Reading to yourself slowly can be beneficial, but you could also consider downloading an audiobook or even enlisting a buddy, so you can read aloud to each other. “It's really quite different when we’re read to as an adult,” says McLaine. “It’s important to really sit back and to not have any judgement about what's being read to you, just to sit into the experience of it.” Tip With the love of being read to on the…

In the latest installment of the franchise comes more luxury, gossip, envy, rivalry, parties, booze … and fun! This time, though, instead of the busy and bustling city of New York or a celeb-filled Los Angeles, viewers will head to the wintry Utah capital that these six fashionistas call home. The series follows the elite and unconventional lives of Lisa Barlow, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose and Jen Shah as they navigate a society fuelled by beauty, wealth and perfection, as well as a hefty dose of religion. With lots of history together, the women share a special bond, but when circles are this tight it’s only a matter of time before beliefs and personalities collide! And it doesn’t take long for things to descend into chaos…

She may not have taken out the title in the sixth season of The X Factor Australia in 2014, but Caitlyn Shadbolt has certainly earned her place amongst the more successful finalists of the reality show. The 25-year-old from Gympie, Queensland, scored herself a record deal and in 2017 released her debut album, Songs on My Sleeve – with music critics quickly touting her as the “one to watch”. Now she’s back with a brand-new album, Stages, telling WHO she recorded it in the middle of the pandemic. “We were in the middle of lockdown at the time,” Shadbolt explains of the making of the album. “[So] I recorded all my vocals and acoustic guitar at home!” Co-writing the majority of the songs herself, the singer says the album reflects…

Growing up in Rockhampton, Queensland, Mary Li had an idyllic childhood where she discovered the beauty of ballet. At the age of 16, she flew to London to study at the prestigious Royal Ballet School, later taking up a role at the Houston Ballet in the US. It was there she met Chinese-born dancer and now-husband Li Cunxin, who wrote the acclaimed autobiography Mao’s Last Dancer. Their chemistry ignited the stage while they fell in love behind the scenes. Tragedy struck a few years later when their daughter Sophie was born deaf and Li was forced to choose between ballet or helping her daughter learn to speak. In her heartwarming new memoir, mum-of-three Li, now 62 – and ballet mistress at the acclaimed Queensland Ballet – picks up where Mao’s…

Picked by Reese Witherspoon as her book club read for November, Group is a confessional memoir by debut author Christie Tate. She’s a high-achieving workaholic with an apartment in an up-and-coming Chicago neighborhood and the highest-ranking student in her law school class. Bemoaning her inability to be intimate and encouraged by her eccentric therapist, Dr Rosen, Tate embarks on the mortifying and revitalising journey that is group therapy. Witherspoon is full of praise for the heartwarming and thought-provoking book. “Have you ever read a book that made you want to hug the author? Every page of this incredible memoir had me thinking, ‘I wish I had read this book when I was 25. It would have helped me so much!’” (Out Now)…

“Because I’m not very techy myself… I won’t let them be on Instagram” Nicole Kidman, on keeping her younger kids off the social media platform, on the UK’s Loose Women “Something cracked open inside of me right after giving birth to my first daughter… Motherhood has been my biggest inspiration” Beyoncé, on wanting to create a better world for her children, to British Vogue “When we were in the middle of quarantine, he looked at me and was like, ‘You know what? I like you. I know I love you, but I like you, too’” Carrie Underwood, on her husband Mike Fisher, to Extra “I was like, ‘We’re stuck here. Let’s do the thing we’ve always wanted to do. Let’s make a baby’” Meghan Trainor, on her “mission” to get…

Last moment of gratitude I went to the Hayden Planetarium in New York and watched the show. I haven’t sat in those seats since my daughter [actress Eleanor Lambert, 27] was small, and it healed me. It gave me a reminder of my place in the order of things. Last thing I learned about myself I must have creative expression somewhere, so I’m painting a mural on my fence. I’m hoping it doesn’t look like some hybrid between hippie and preschool art. Last time I was starstruck Meeting Michelle and Barack. I have to say their first names because it makes me sound so cool. My daughter said, “Mum, your face is splitting.” I was just elated. Last indulgence There’s a Lebanese restaurant right by the paint store, and I…

Usually, on Remembrance Sunday in the UK, around 10,000 people gather at London’s main national war memorial to observe two minutes of silence at 11am. In this year’s scaled-back event, the crowds were missing and most noticeably absent was Prince Harry, who sources tell WHO’s sister publication People had every intention of being in the UK for the event before his travel plans were skittled by the pandemic. Adding insult to injury – and in the latest sign of the growing gulf between him and the royal family – Harry, who served in the Army for 10 years, rising to the rank of captain and undertaking two tours of duty in Afghanistan, was denied a personal request to Buckingham Palace for a wreath to be placed at the London memorial…

After a heartbreaking few months, Lisa Curry has found a reason to smile again. The Olympian’s daughter Morgan Gruell recently welcomed her second son Taj into the world – with Curry sharing a series of snaps from when she met her newborn grandson. “IT’S A BOY! Taj Grant Gruell arrived safely into this world last Thursday, 5th November 2020, 8lb 4oz (for the oldies like me who can relate better to pounds!!),” she shared on Instagram. “Each day seems like a bit of a blur”– CURRY The 58-year-old beamed as she cradled the little one in her arms and also snuggled up to her 2-year-old grandson, Flynn, and daughter Morgan, 30, in the adorable pics. “A beautiful second son for my Morgan and Ryan and little bro for Flynn ……

It’s been months of subtle swipes between exes Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, but the actress wasn’t playing when she publicly lashed out at her estranged husband on November 1. The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 47, posted a photo to his Instagram the day after Halloween showing him in a fuzzy white onesie, while his 4-year-old son Journey stood nearby wearing a Spider-Man costume. “Hope you all had a good Halloween!!” he captioned the pic. However Fox, 34, didn’t like what she saw, blowing up Austin Green’s comment section by accusing him of using their son to paint himself as a “dedicated dad”. “Why does Journey have to be in this picture? It’s not hard to crop them out. Or choose photos that they aren’t in,” she commented. “I…

She’s the trailblazing designer who had every noughties ‘It girl’ from Kylie Minogue to Nicole Kidman lining up to wear her feminine and flirty designs. And after revealing her shocking childhood trauma and how losing the business which still bears her name nearly destroyed her in Butterfly On a Pin, published in 2018, Alannah Hill, 57, is back with her second memoir, The Handbag of Happiness. Broken into 18 chapters named after an important item in her life (The Bathing Costume of Calamity, The Apron Strings of Lament), each story ends with a pearl of wisdom, a lesson that she’s personally learned the hard way. “Everyone tells you to forget the past and move on, but sometimes you just can’t,” Hill tells WHO. “I wanted to write a book about…

DO-IT-ALL DERMAPEN Say yes to a pro-grade glow with this speedy facial treatment WHAT IT IS Dermapen is a professional skin treatment utilising medical-grade needles to puncture the skin and create tiny holes that trigger a wound-healing response, flooding skin with collagen for a plumper, more even texture and a serious glow. While at-home skin needling typically uses tiny needles that penetrate via a rolling action to a depth of about 0.3mm, in the hands of professionals, these needles go 2.5mm deep, straight up and down. It’s great for all skin types, from ageing to acne-prone, as the depth of the needle penetration can be tailored for each person and each part of the face. WHAT IT FEELS LIKE Yep, it’s prickly. It’s quick though so the pain doesn’t linger.…

He’s used to performing under pressure. After all, former Australian swimmer James Magnussen is a two-time 100m freestyle world champion, and he won silver and bronze medals at the Olympic Games in London in 2012. But the now-retired athlete tells WHO the immense pressure to perform well in the pool helped him cope with the intensity of SAS Australia. “Whenever I commit to something, I commit 100 per cent,” the 29-year-old from Sydney tells WHO. “I took up CrossFit, running, touch footy and weightlifting to get ready for this show. But nothing can really prepare you for how hard it is. But I’m determined to go as far as I can.” You must’ve been asked to do a few reality shows since you retired from the pool. Why did you…

They’ve served up some of the best break-up anthems since they erupted onto the scene in 2011 and Little Mix’s latest tunes certainly won’t disappoint either! The girl band have released their highly anticipated sixth album Confetti, giving fans another 13 songs of pop perfection. It’s everything that fans have come to know and love from the quartet, with empowering lyrics and luscious vocals. “With this album, we just had fun and wrote songs that we liked and it came together,” Jesy Nelson says of Confetti. “Obviously this one still has Girl Power anthems on there, but I’d say that it’s more eclectic.” (Confetti is out now)…

Aussie author Rachael Johns is known for her mastery of the craft of telling women’s stories, and her new novel Flying the Nest is once again testament to that. The story follows Ashling, a stay-at-home mother-of-two, who is absolutely gobsmacked when her husband casually announces one morning he wants to separate. On the cusp of 40, Ashling is seemingly collateral damage in her husband’s midlife crisis as he suggests they adopt “nest” parenting – where the kids stay in the home and the parents alternate their time. While sensible, the arrangement soon forces Ashling to reassess everything she understood about her own life, her identity, and her very existence. A brilliant read from one of Australia’s most popular authors, this will have you hooked from the very beginning. (Out now)…
